<p><br>We're in the final stretch of our campaign, but we need all hands on deck to make it to the finish line! Almost 100 of you have endorsed the project, and your generosity has
inspired us to fight hard against the lobbying plots in Washington that
enable these pesky corporate tax dodgers. Will you tell a friend about the project by forwarding this message to them? You can always check up on the progress of the project at:<a href="http://../projects/yeslab/the-us-uncut-yes-lab-bring-the-money-home" target="_blank"><br><br>http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/yeslab/the-us-uncut-yes-lab-bring-the-money-home</a><br><br>Thanks for all your help!

That is:</p><ul>
<li>Twice the distance (in miles) from Miami to Grand Cayman</li>
<li>The (approx.) number of creative tax accountants that work at GE</li>
<li>1/10 of our goal to launch our citizens tax holiday journey!</li>
</ul><p>As we thank you for your support, we're excited about ramping up our outreach and spreading the word about corporate offshore tax avoidance. We've recently published a <a href="http://scr.bi/tax-holiday" target="_blank">Citizens Tax Cruise Brochure</a>, and you can get your hands on a free glossy version by visiting us at NYC City Hall tomorrow (Wednesday) where we'll be performing some tropical street theater - 2-5pm.</p><p>We want to again <b>thank you </b>so much for helping us literally <i>kickstart</i> this dream of ours!</p><p>Peace, love and shared success and sacrifice,<br></p><p>Justin W.</p><p>US Uncut / The Yes Lab<br></p>tag:www.kickstarter.com,2008-10-09:Post/862862011-06-10T12:54:02-04:002011-06-10T14:58:08-04:00Off we go!<p>Dear friends, <br></p><p>Just over 24 hours into our campaign, and the word is spreading fast! <br></p><p>Says US Uncut Co-Founder Carl Gibson, <br></p><p>“WAC lobbyists use language soaked in faux patriotism about how the money is ‘trapped overseas’ and the need to ‘bring the money home,'” says Gibson. “Well, we're doing it for them. If our tax dollars are being held hostage in the Cayman Islands, then there should be a ragtag group of taxpaying citizens ready to swoop in and bring it home. And that's what we plan to do.” <br></p><p>
